Hurricane Katia not likely to make landfall

Katia currently tracking northeast as Category 3 storm.

The Canadian Press on September 6, 2011

Over the weekend, Hurricane Katia became a monstrous Category 4 storm out in the Atlantic Ocean. On Monday night, Katia’s maximum sustained winds increased to 135 mph (215 kph). Some strength fluctuations are expected before the storm slowly weakens.

Hurricane specialist Todd Kimberlain said it’s looking less likely that Katia will hit land but that wind from the storm could still affect the US East Coast as it moves north.

Forecast maps show it veering to the northeast, away from the US in the coming week. Katia has been downgraded to a Category 3 storm.
